I don't want to work
I wan' bang on the drum all day
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day

Ever since I was a tiny boy
I don't want no candy
I don't need no toy
I took a stick and an old coffee can
I pound on that thing 'till I got
Blisters on my hand because

When I get older they think I'm a fool 
The teacher told me I should stay after school
She caught me pounding on the desk with my hands
But my licks was so hot 
I made the teacher wanna dance
And that's why

Every day when I get home from work 
I feel frustrated
The boss is a jerk
And I get my sticks and go out to the shed
And I pound on the drum 
like it was the boss's head because
